This week on Parking Live, Jade Neville sits down with leaders from the British Parking Association to explore a simple idea with huge implications: parking should just work.
From too many apps to disconnected systems and confusing user experiences, parking has become unnecessarily complicated for drivers and operators alike. But a growing push around open data standards could finally change that.
First, Jade speaks with Andrew Pester about why Parkex continues to bring the industry together around collaboration, innovation, and the future of mobility. Then she’s joined by Jon Allan for a practical breakdown of APDS — the Alliance for Parking Data Standards — and how it’s helping create a more seamless experience for everyday drivers.
They discuss:
- Why drivers shouldn’t need multiple parking apps
- How shared standards reduce friction and confusion
- The connection between parking, EV charging, and mobility platforms
- Why interoperability matters for cities and operators
- How invisible technology can create a better customer experience
At its core, this episode is about making parking easier, more connected, and less frustrating for everyone involved.
